One East Ace Deli

Great deli. Quality food at an affordable price. Takes cash and credit. Neighborhood staple!

Clean, fast, friendly, inexpensive. Love their Cuban sandwich, one of the best I’ve ever had.

I wish they had a better roll/​bread selection, but whatever. They are friendly and fast. You don’t have to wait in line or stand around for 20 minutes to get a sandwich like you do at the fancier looking delis up the street. Plus they have fresh turkey sliced right off the bird if you prefer that over the regular deli turkey. That alone makes this place worthy of a frequent visit. Oh also, the roast beef is fresh off an actual roast too. If they had good multigrain rolls, I’d go five stars.

I love this place! Much better quality food and better prices than the competition in the area. Everyone is very friendly and makes an effort to memorize your name and what you order. The cooks especially are so nice. They also take cards. I only wish they were open later!

My office is a block away from this place so i come here regularly. Service is quick and efficient, which is exactly what you need during your lunch break. If you don’t like any of the menu items you can create your own, which is what i usually do.
I guess Mrs. Kim really liked my sandwich bc she added it to the menu, calling it the jane special lol ;p try it with jalapenos and hot sauce.
tip: their bagels aren’t the best, so stick to their breakfast sandwiches in the morning.

Ace Deli is a perfectly-​affordable option for coffee.
I regularly get coffee here. I find their regular coffee tastes better than Starbucks’s blend — not hard to do. When I sweeten[1] my coffee, it’s on par with Dunkin Donuts’s sweet offerings.
Can’t comment reliably on the deli’s other options. Once, I bought a bunch of pastries for the office, but I don’t recall eating any myself. Coffee is my drug.
The inestimable Mrs. Kim[2] will probably be ringing you up at the front — somehow, she remembers all her customers. Cash only, by the way.
[1] I rarely experiment often with cream or sugar, but I have my days.
[2] No idea if she’s the owner.

As a regular customer at Mrs. Kim’s Ace Deli, might I say that the food is not only delicious but Mrs. Kim herself has made each and every one of her customers feel welcomed and like family to her small little deli in Midtown, Manhattan.
The lunch specials are ridiculously cheap and I would definitely have to say the Friends special is my favorite. What makes Ace Deli’s specials delightful is the fact that they are simple. As you become a regular customer at Ace Deli you will find yourself not only enjoying the food more but also enjoy getting to know Mrs. Kim and the staff as well.
I would give this place a 5 star review but the place does have it’s downside such as: a boring décor, small eating space, and a overprice on items (common due to the fact that all things in the city is priced much higher than necessary).

Decided to give this hole in the wall deli a chance today for breakfast as it’s down the block from where I work. Now that I am back on the «good eating» plan after ruining myself during the holidays I was looking for a relatively healthy meal.
I saw the sign walking by with a few specials on it. One was a breakfast wrap with egg whites, turkey, and swiss cheese for $ 4. Not a bad deal so I went in. Service was quick and I was back at my desk in minutes. Wrap was cooked just fine and I was satisfied. (well, that’s a lie as I really wanted a bacon, egg, and cheese on a roll — damn diet!)
The place itself is a standard deli with only a few tables and chairs. No real décor or anything to make one want to eat there. Carries all the basics a deli normally has. Just A-​OK by me.

I passionately hate this place. It’s a complete dive and outrageously expensive. I bought some soy milk on my way to work and they charged me $ 3.99 for a quart. I saw it later for $ 2.29 at Walgreens nearby and I was furious for being so overcharged. I also noticed some brown looking egg salad in their deli counter. It’s a dump and yet they charge through the roof.
